Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Twitter is a handy tool for keeping up with PAX lines, announcements, friends and giveaways. Although connections are often spotty in the convention center, Twitter is a pretty easy media to access, and you can even have feeds sent as texts to your cell phone to avoid data charges.

I'll be keeping this thread and the lists updated on a fairly regular basis, so if you have suggestions on what needs to be here, or would like your handle to be added to the attendees list, post away!

This year the lists are going to be kept through a pax community based twitter account that a few people have access to so the lists can be maintained more efficiently and there's a one stop shop for pax related twitter lists. This account resides here: @paxcommunity ... the account holding these lists (will often retweet various pax related things). Not on the list since a list can't follow its owner

PAX Official Twitters and Important (some Unofficial) Department Feeds for During the Show (List HERE)

PAX Staff: Folks from PA and Reed Pop, those who make PAX go (List HERE)

Community Twitters (most people follow them individually. Due to popular demand, List HERE)

Hashtags To Know
Hashtags serve as a method of connecting conversations on twitter between people that may not be following each other. This is a great way to follow along with certain events that are ongoing during PAX.

Attendees (List HERE) - Post to be added to the list (your tweets must be public to be on the list)!
Due to huge, list is now behind a spoiler for ease of life.

add @kilonum to the attendees list, though I won't be tweeting much during the con. As a matter of fact most of my tweets will probably just be retweets of whatever department I end up Enforcing in this time around.

already setting up my twitter to be pax-friendly. anyone know of a better android app for twitter feeds than the standard twitter app? preferably something that clears tweets that have been read and easily lets me access saved searches?

I have always loved tweetdeck. Now that it's owned by twitter it has been a little less awesome than it was before but I still like it a lot. It allows you to have separate columns for your lists and you can manage multiple twitter accounts with ease from within.

this will serve my needs nicely. thanks!

edit: doing a seesmic/tweetdeck side-by-side comparison. will report back results.

it was actually the notification that you added me that reminded me to do it! in other news, if no one else has a recommendation to throw in, i think i will be using tweetdeck. seesmic is prettier and i really like how easily i can hop back to the top of the feed, but tweetdeck's widget makes it ridiculously easy to access my saved searches (which i will use a lot for things like #paxcards).
